Service design on Docker machine

There is the word “One service per machine”. Is this still true when it comes to Docker? Or is it common / best practice to deploy containers with completely independent services (say: a Nexus Package Manager, a MantisBT bug tracker, a Dokuwiki and maybe even a complete Gitlab) on one Docker host?

Thanks and cheers,
Wolfgang

Answer

If you would only deploy one service via docker on one host, Docker itself would be completely useless.

In this context, one Docker container is “one machine”.
